Description: | Cast copper alloy annular brooch dating to the Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and flat with a frame which is sub-rectangular in cross section. The frame has a narrowed section to secure the pin in place. The upper surface is decorated with a running scroll of angular decoration inside of which is a rounded pellet. In the spaces between the decoration are diagonal ridges with small transverse grooves. The frame is recessed where the pin rested. The reverse is undecorated. The pin has broken but is almost complete. The object has a dark green patina and is in good condition. Similar brooches can be found on p.248-250, Egan and Pritchard, (1991). The object can be dated to 1150-1450AD.
